I'm not sure if this will suddenly lead to the "blocking" of "undesirable" content.

Either they are running out of new customers to sell their overpriced products to, or the products are lasting so long, they are not being replaced as fast anymore.
Or the boss needs a new private jet... this time painted blue.
I should have said nearly modem like speed, yeah, my trusty U.S. Robotics 56K never got THAT fast. There were days I sure wish somehow it would.
My first upgrade to the world of DSL was 320K and that did feel like ridiculous speed. Now my cable company offers 1 gig plans... that's just ludicrous speed!
My old dial-up ISP offered a service where you could use two modems, and dial the ISP to double your speed for an extra 5 dollars a month. Not quite 128 kbps mind you, but getting close.
I know that modems topped off at 56K, but compared to modern broadband speeds, 128K does almost feel modem-slow!
Some "commoners" actually do care, even if they do not subscribe to scientific journals or earn money through research grants.
Keeping science to the "Professional scientists" is the very root of the problem. The very statement reeks of elitism. The scientific method and sharing of results is supposed to be a process, not a social class for the "enlightened ones".
How many discoveries were made by people not part of the "in crowd" The peer review system is good in theory, but with such a small subset of the population represented it's like inbreeding - too few eyes, leads to group think and limited opposing views that may find holes in existing suppositions and paradigms.
Slashdot Mirror
They are already planning to build a new Apple Store there.
Please wait for the Wiki Leaks release.
Micro-who?
Oh, don't they make doors?
I can't find any airline that flies there. How do you get there?
Google maps did not show it.
Apple maps did show it, but you have to drive across the sun to get there.

Perhaps at half the pay of the people being kicked out the door?
If they also suddenly mandate that all voting be done online...
Then I may begin to worry, and don my foil hat.
Canada!!!
Yes, I'm talking to you.
I'm your upstairs neighbor. Don't you go blocking my Facebooks!
Good.
Now that I have settled that, I can sleep easy tonight.
As long as the new ICANN Overlords continue to graciously grant me access to Slashdot from my basement, I will be happy.

The NSA still owns all the Internet's anyways. :)
He who has the most toys...
Still dies with none.
But that does not stop people from screwing over their fellow man to get more toys, sadly.

You lead the world in so many ways
Sadly, it's not the American people leading, but the over sized government-industrial complex that feeds off of them,
Wow, so that really is near a 56k modem... that feels like the dark ages now!
Was T-Mobile's throttled speed limit also 128K? Just wondering, I can't get their service here.

What does raw data mean oh so enlightened AC?

If I could get T-Mobile in Alaska... I would. Sigh.......
"...all data usage will be reduced to a maximum of 128 kbps for the rest of their bill cycle."
Does it also make the sound of an analog modem establishing a connection every time you send or receive data?
I think I'd rather pay the overage fee...
And kinda as shown from past history trying to appease the Slashdot crowd isn't the answer.
They CAN be appeased?!
